7. Land Rover Defender Ninety (1994-1997)

An early British sketch comedy milestone was At Last the 1948 Show. It’s not unlike the cool and capable Land Rover Defender Ninety. Introduced earlier but sent to North America at last for 1994, the basic 1948 design was updated with modern concessions. Safety regulations made it unfeasible to export it after 1997, so Land Rover focused on upscale models for America. It’s at the edge of affordability, but we’re still sentimental for this modern version of the original Landy and see this SUV as a future classic.
